The United Soccer Coaches (formerly known as the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)) is an organization of American soccer coaches founded in 1941. It is the largest soccer coaches organization in the world, with more than 30,000 members. It offers training courses for both beginning and experienced coaches and a wide range of award programs. Rare among sports organizations, it serves its sport for both men/boys and women/girls. Lynn Berling-Manuel is the current Chief Executive Officer.. The NSCAA was rebranded as United Soccer Coaches on August 2, 2017.

The annual United Soccer Coaches Convention, known as "The World's Largest Annual Gathering of Soccer Coaches" is held in mid-January.
